Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## eBay Sold Listings Scraper Get **real eBay transaction prices** — not asking prices. This Actor scrapes eBay **sold & completed listings** for any search query and returns them as clean, structured JSON. Sold-item price history is **not available in eBay's free Finding or Browse APIs**, so scraping the completed-listings view is the only way to get this data at scale. ### What it does Give it a search term (e.g. `nintendo switch oled`) and it returns the matching sold listings with: - **title** — the listing title - **price** — the actual sold price (numeric) - **currency** — `$`, `£`, `€`, … - **soldDate** — when it sold - **condition** — new / used / etc. - **itemUrl** — link to the listing - **imageUrl** — thumbnail ### Why sold listings? Active listings tell you what sellers *hope* to get. **Sold listings tell you what buyers actually paid** — the number that matters for: - **Resellers & flippers** pricing inventory - **Price-comparison & arbitrage** tools - **Market research** on real demand and price trends - **Collectors** valuing items with no fixed market price ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | What to search eBay for (required) | | `maxResults` | integer | Max listings to return (default 50) | | `soldOnly` | boolean | Sold & completed only (default on). Off = include active listings | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings — Apify Proxy recommended | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "vintage omega seamaster", "maxResults": 100, "soldOnly": true } ```` ### Output Each item is one sold listing: ```json { "title": "OMEGA Seamaster Automatic Men's Watch", "price": 842.00, "currency": "$", "soldDate": "Jun 28, 2026", "condition": "Pre-owned", "itemUrl": "https://www.ebay.com/itm/123456789012", "imageUrl": "https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/abc/s-l500.jpg" } ``` ### Notes - Use **Apify Proxy** (default) so requests rotate across IPs for reliable results at volume. - eBay changes its page layout periodically; this Actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): What to search eBay for, e.g. "nintendo switch oled" or "vintage omega seamaster". The scraper returns matching sold & completed listings. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of sold listings to return. ## `soldOnly` (type: `boolean`): When on, returns only sold/completed listings (real transaction prices). Turn off to include active listings. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. eBay blocks datacenter IPs, so RESIDENTIAL proxies are strongly recommended for reliable results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "nintendo switch oled", "maxResults": 50, "soldOnly": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `soldListings` (type: `string`): One row per sold listing: title, sold price, date, condition, and URL. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "nintendo switch oled", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("jamhimself/ebay-sold-listings-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
